Wow Eric! What an ordeal! Glad to hear you are ok. I hope the asshat stopped or at least got caught by the police!

First of all, I'm glad you're okay ... nothing else is as important.
Secondly, I'm impressed ... very impressed with the structural integrity of the Jeep. Looks like nothing intruded into the operator or passenger zones. For a simple "roll over" structure, that's mighty impressive. Even the Rhino rack looks like it didn't have a catastrophic failure.

I second this thought. Glad you are ok and extremely impressed by how your Jeep held up. All of us should appreciate how well his wrangler took the brunt of the rollover.

Even if he was camping out in the passing lane, which is illegal in most states, that still doesn't give the other driver the right to try and kill him by driving like a moron.
OP I'm glad you are OK, and I'm glad that you have eye witnesses to verify your story. That will surely help you out. I just pray that the other driver has insurance. It wouldn't be fair for yours to have to cover your losses.

Hope you feel better. The Jeep can be replaced.

Glad you are ok.. it is helpful to share and a reminder to us all vehicles and others can change your life in a heartbeat.
I feel better knowing how well the Jeep held up in this as I put my most precious cargo in it. My Wife and Family.
I hope in the long term nothing negative comes out and you recover 100% both physically and monetary.
My best out to you in these times. Hang in there. It will only get better from here.

You're right of course and I'm glad the OP survived relatively ok. What I took away from his story is to be a courteous driver, which means don't camp in the left lane.
